The Dark Side of the Moon

slipping out of sight, as we inched our way over a rickety wooden bridge. On the far side, there was a tiny path leading down a slight slope. Not even a path really, more like clues—a snapped twig here—some tramped down weeds over there. We followed the clues until the ground became thick with fallen limbs and decaying pine needles. Then we wedged between the thickets into the Enchanted Forest and I could sense the evil. Dark birds appeared out of nowhere and hovered overhead, casting their…

Oedipus was her son when she hears the messenger tell Oedipus the events that occurred after his birth that brought him to the King and Queen of Corinth. 4. Is Oedipus a victim of fate or his own actions? There are compelling arguments on both sides. Oedipus does everything in his power to avoid his fate, but through these actions the prophecy came true.
